Mt. Hood Meadows offers a variety of lift ticket options so you can select the most affordable way to explore our mountain.
Purchase your pass online in advance for greater convenience! Just bring your sales order order to any of our Points of Sale at the ski resort to redeem your online purchase.
RELOAD YOUR PASS! Already have a "Reload Pass" from a previous visit? You can load your next visit to Meadows at a discount - just $69 for an open to close lift pass!
Mt. Hood Meadows is scheduled to operate daily from opening (whenever we receive enough snow - usually in November) through April 27th with lifts scheduled each day at 9 AM. Scheduled lifts can vary with business levels particularly later in the season. Meadows may reduce operations midweek in April, following Washington spring break, depending on daily attendance. This could affect Hood River Express, Heather and Shooting Star Express, which would affect terrain park operations in Forest Park and Park Place, as well as gated access terrain such as Heather Canyon, Private Reserve and S&R Cliffs. While we would prefer to operate all lifts every day through the entire season, the decision to operate lifts and terrain on the mountain is dependent on favorable visitation to justify continued operations.
Thanks to our encore weekend sponsors for letting us continue the season! Unlimited Pass Holders can continue to use their passes and 10 Time Pass holders may use remaining days on their pass.
RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification - a wireless chip is embedded into your pass or card media. At each of our lifts, we've installed access gates, which are triggered by your valid media. You wear your card inside your jacket, or on an arm band preferably on the upper left side of your body. You no longer have to present your lift ticket or season pass for scanning every time you board the lift! Just follow these simple rules for the best experience:
Did you know that day passes are being collected for reuse? If you purchase an adult pass, you have the option of reloading your pass online for use again this season, and you can even save $5 off a day lift pass! However, if you're not planning on reusing your pass, you can support our Sustainability initiatives and place your pass in one of the three drop boxes located at the Concierge desk, Hood River Meadows lodge (inside), and the breezeway (Main lodge, stairwell area between North and South lodges). Thanks for helping us reuse, reduce and recycle!

The Pichichi
This morning I awakened before the sun, and it was not because I wanted to. I came out of a deep sleep to the sounds of some strange bird tweeting right by our bedroom window. Putting my pillow over my head only half-suffocated me, (that never works). Finally I just yelled in the direction of the window, "SHUT UP!" but that didn't work either. I laid in bed hating that stupid bird which reminded me so much of my nemesis in El Salvador, the Pichichi.
The Pichichi is some sort of duck, in English it's called the "Black-bellied Whistling Duck", and I'm not exaggerating when I say that the noise that bird makes sounds like a really loud and demented doggy squeak toy from hell and it nearly drove me to insanity.
Most of our time in El Salvador was spent in the city of San Salvador at my husband's childhood home, but we spent a couple nights in Chalatenango at the house of a Tio and the Abuelos. It was at the Tio's house where I met the Pichichi. I'll admit that at first I thought he was cute, but that all changed after the sun went down. I climbed into my hammock with my tired, sweaty baby on my chest. My oldest son was a year old at the time and still very fussy. It was difficult to get him to sleep, especially without the comforts of home, and he'd become so exhausted and overwhelmed that he would cry for hours at a time. I wrapped him in a blanket to shield him from the mosquitoes which feasted on me instead, and tried to get comfortable. I woke often, itching from the mosquito bites and unaccustomed to the swinging motion of the hammock, feeling like I was falling, worried I'd drop the baby. The baby would cry out in protest each time I moved and so I tried my best to hold still.
It wasn't just the hammock and the mosquitoes though. Right out the window in the adjacent courtyard lived a Pichichi, and that stupid duck made its torturous noises almost all night. Every once in awhile I yelled, "SHUT UP!" towards the window, but it was no use. When I thought he had finally given in to my demands, the sunlight started to filter in through the curtain and the rooster started his shift.
The next day my Suegra had scheduled our son's baptism at the church. At the time I was devoutly Protestant and I was upset that this had been arranged without my permission. I was feeling rather emotional, and the lack of sleep did nothing to help matters. The day of the baptism was incredibly hot. The sun beat down unrelenting, and in the small, windowless church, we all sweated through our clothes. The baby began to cry, and so I began to cry as well. No one quite knew what to make of it.
At one point in the ceremony, the Padre addresses the parents and the padrinos saying, "Do you believe in the Catholic church?" … I've never been one to lie, and I had no idea my husband had intended for me to just silently go along with things. "I'm Protestant!" I blurted out through my tears. Everyone was silent for a moment as the Padre seemed to wonder what to do, and then the ceremony went on as usual.
I probably didn't make the best first impression on a lot of my in-laws when we went to visit El Salvador, but for some reason, they seemed to understand me, even if I didn't totally understand myself.

I admired you, too. I probably had raised hell. But at the same time I thank goodness that my MIL is very laid back.
I have a similar nemesis, well two actually: chickens and dogs! Everywhere we went to in Latin America, they all seemed to congregate below our room. Dogs barking all night isn't fun… and damn chicken, I was glad to eat them afterwards!
Oh poor you! I'm an atheist but I can imagine how confusing it must have been for you, that added to the culture shock.
I clicked the link to listen to the sound this duck makes…..I almost peed myself laughing!! Picturing you trying to sleep and hearing this sound that you described perfectly as a "demented doggy squeak toy from hell" while periodically yelling "SHUT UP!" lololol!! Reminds me of when I would travel to Honduras during the "feria" and having fireworks and "la banda" going off at 3 and 4 am…..oy!

Love Love this product. It exfoliates very gently the smell is pleasing and the cleaning agent works wonderfully. I would highly recommend this product.
I really like the smell and texture of this scrub. I do use it every other day after I cleanse. The only thing I do not like about it is that is leaves a film on you face after use. But once you tone, the film is gone and and your skin is real smooth and soft. It is definitely a good part of this skin care line.
I loved this facial scrub. This was the first Pangea Organics product that I've tried and it's awesome. It cleared up my skin (when used in conjunction with other products, of course) and smells great as well.
Much better scrubs out there like Aveeno or Blueberries. Don't waste your money. It leaves a film and does not do a good job of scrubbing. I didn't even notice a difference in the texture of my skin.
It was irritating using this. The exfoliants are so large that I could not even scrub with them. Lately i've been using a mixture of coconut oil, baking soda, and ground oatmeal and it works so much better.
This made my skin super soft! It also smells great! I love it a lot I actually purchased the full size!
Love this. Has little grains in it that exfoliate the skin, scent is clean. Don't be put off by the brown color. This is an amazing cleanser.
I thought this was an okay face scrub. It is very gentle on your skin but it did seem to dry out my skin afterwards, but I have very dry skin so this might not be a problem for others.
It's not very exfoliating and the grains are uneven. It's a gentler, overpriced version of the St. Ives scrub I feel. If you want a good exfoliator I'd recommend a chemical one and if you really like physical exfoliants, go for one that has a lot of small exfoliating beads that are evenly sized, this'll keep it from damaging your skin.
Great smell and texture. Makes your face feel very clean and smooth. Makes getting into bed with a clean face that much better.

Having read just a snippet of H. Brandt Ayers' commentary about the race to the bottom for North Carolina, I believe I can summarize his objections to the new voter-ID law just passed. It disenfranchises voters. How absurd!
You need a picture ID for practically all other governmental functions as it is now. How is it wrong to attempt to keep the voting process pure? You need a picture ID for so many other things like cashing checks, doctor visits, pharmacy pickups, etc. — you should get the drift — yet there are no complaints when using these methods to insure the integrity of those processes, so why now?
All those groups most likely mentioned by Ayers already have the ID. The only reason against it is to promote voter fraud, something those like Ayers say doesn't exist, even though some Democrats are headed to prison, as we speak, for it. There should be no negative fallout for attempting to keep the integrity of the voting process.
The U.S. Constitution says only U.S. citizens can vote, right? If so, how can anyone find fault with trying to keep it legal? Ayers, on this issue as on the Second Amendment issue, is on the wrong side.

Since its founding in 1987, the Center for Business, Religion and Public Life has helped the PTS and wider communities to explore the relation of faith, vocation, and public issues. From our earliest work of promoting dialogue among business and community leaders in the region's transition from its steel mill and manufacturing roots, to our current focus on the challenges raised by new technologies, developments in health care, and an increasingly globalized business environment, the Center's work has remained the same: to prepare leaders in church, business and professional life to relate issues of faith to their work and the complex communities and institutions they serve.
The Center assists students and local pastors and professionals seeking research assistance and resources on issues bridging faith, work and public life, including locating demographic, professional, and denominational resources to help churches and individuals deepen their understanding of their local communities and issues of vocation and public policy. On campus, the Center provides particular support to students interested in callings that relate church and public policy.
For information on upcoming Center programs, research resources, or to inquire about Center consulting or off-site teaching in your church or professional setting, please contact the Center's director, the Rev. Dr. Deirdre King Hainsworth, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 412-924-1414.

Little event? Not anymore. There are several fundraising galas leading up to the show (Feb. 13-14 this year); a banquet of dog writers attend; international press cover the show, and celebrities from Martha Stewart to the legendary Lauren Bacall flock to Madison Square Garden. New York's skyline is even lit in Westminster purple. The Garden sells out (18,500 people), and the show is televised live, with millions watching at home.

"In 2005, we saw Carlee the German Shorthaired Pointer with the stack heard around the world," he recalls. A "stack" refers to when a dog stands in such a way to best show off his or her confirmation. The stack might last for 10 seconds as the dog stands perfectly still for inspection by the judge.
"Well, Carlee went to the center of the ring and didn't move for at least a minute -- and the crowd went crazy," says Frei.
The loudest cheer at the Garden, according to Frei, came in 2008.
"Uno (a Beagle) offered his own opinion to the judge, saying 'Woo! Woo!' And then when the Best in Show judge pointed to Uno as the winner, I have never heard the crowd reaction in Madison Square so loud. The building shook. It's like with one second left in the NBA finals and the Knicks score a basket."
Few in the huge crowd are shy about cheering for their favorite dogs. Fans do the same at home.
"That's a part of the magic of Westminster," says Frei. "These days, dogs are a part of the family. Our dogs are bred more for companionship (now), though they can still do the things they were bred to do. You can't go to the hoop with Kobe, or knock a drive down the middle of a fairway with Phil Mickelson, but you can envision yourself showing your dog. It's the alma mater factor, I think. I'm sitting here with my Brittany and I say, 'Grace, we could be there (on TV at Westminster) with a little road work, fewer cookies and maybe a bath once a week instead of every six months."
Frei adds, "And we all play dog show judge at home. It doesn't matter if you're a kid or a kid at heart. That's the great thing about the sport, that to a degree it's subjective."
While that may be true, judges are very familiar with the written confirmation standards for each breed. Here's what happens at Westminster and all other American Kennel Club dog shows:
Lots of judges decide on a winner for each of the 185 breeds. Each breed falls into one of seven groups: Herding, Hound, Non-sporting, Sporting, Terrier, Toy and Working. Seven judges decide on the top dog in each group.
These seven dogs participate in the Best of Show competition. The judge this year is Cindy Vogels.
"She's a great dog lady," says Frei, "and a terrier person. It could mean a terrier will have the edge, but it might be that she will even be tougher on the terriers."
Throughout Westminster's history, terriers have had an edge. A dog from the Terrier Group has won Best in Show a whopping 45 times.
So, who will win it all this year? A terrier happens to have an inside shot -- a Wire Fox Terrier (named Eira) who won the National Dog Show.
"She got to behave, though," says Frei. "Sometimes she looks for trouble." He adds, "There are a couple of Standard Poodles who will get a look. There's an Affenpinscher or a Pekingese who could take the Toy Group, and maybe the show. And A Whippet might sneak in there, too, or a Kuvasz (a large Hungarian herding breed).
Westminster airs Monday, Feb. 13, 8-9 p.m. ET live on the USA Network, and 9-11 p.m. ET live on CNBC; and Tuesday, Feb. 14, 8-11 p.m. ET live on the USA Network.

Best coat ever
My gf bought me this for Xmas and I love it I wanted my own ever since I saw it on the episode of workaholics. I feel like a wizard wearing it lmao!
This Bear Coat is FEIRCE!
I bought this for my daughters boyfriend because I wanted to take his photo in it, it is that awesome. He wears it to parties, he wears it walking down the street. It's awesome. My daughter looks fierce just standing next to him in it. And she likes to wear it too. Because wearing a giant teddy bear with claws is awesome. 80's tees is also awesome because they matched prices for me, gave me free 2nd day shipping so I got this wrapped up for Xmas and they were super nice to boot. Would definately shop here again!
My brother got me this for Christmas and I've gotten so many compliments and had such a blast wearing the bear coat it's ridiculous.
AMAZING!!!! I bought this for my boyfriend and he is obsessed with it. He didn't take it off when he was around the house for several days, except to eat and not get it dirty. We are using it for Halloween costume this weekend but I'm guessing it is going to be a staple in his wardrobe. Great quality, very soft, and LOVE the rubber teeth and claws because plastic would have been awful and more likely to cause issues.
Fur Realz
It's actually just like a coat but without a zipper. The inside is warm and padded like a winter jacket but not bulky. The fur is soft. Move the stuffing around a bit in the head so it sits how you'd like it. My boyfriend is 6 feet tall and it fit like a glove. Perfect arm length and the hood isn't too loose. He was beyond happy when this arrived for his birthday!
OMG!! yes.yes.yes...fur suuure YES!!
HOLY MOLY! it was literally JUST delivered to my office.I love everything about it! Even tho I am in Texas, I will be wearing this ALL DAY! Fur suuuure!
love this jacket!!!
I love this jacket and so does everybody, its cool to wear it feels like a one of a kind jacket, you don't see many people walking around in a bear coat, it will keep you warm even though it has no zipper, if your a smaller person the bear head hood is a little big and some times moves around, but still I love this coat and is def worth the money
Perfect bear coat
I freakin love it!
I wear my coat on a regular day-to-day basis. I've been looking for one since I saw it on Workaholics. Even with the button-clip, the hood's kinda hard to keep on. The sleeves are huge, too. This might be just for me, I'm a 16 year old girl, so I'm on the small side. I was a little let down seeing the nose, claws, and teeth were rubber, not plastic, but it's still awesome. I bought it for myself for Christmas. Over all good buy.

Tornados Sweep Doubles, Hold off Lady Saints 7-2
Contact: Steve Cunha, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia women's tennis team dropped their seventh straight match on Tuesday afternoon, falling 7-2 to Brevard at the North Georgia Tennis Complex.
After opening the 2012 campaign red hot with a 4-0 start the Lady Saints (5-8) have struggled, dropping eight of their last nine, while Brevard (8-5) has won five of their last six matches after a 3-4 start.
Things got off to an ominous start for the Lady Saints as they had to forfeit one of their doubles matches and the Tornados took the remaining two doubles, forcing North Georgia to climb out of an early 3-0 hole.
Brevard stretched their lead in singles action as they took four of the six matches.
Natalia Escobar continued her strong spring with a 6-0, 6-0 straight set victory at No.1 doubles, while Maria V Casseres Romero scored the other point for the Lady Saints as she won her match at No. 6 singles when her opponent retired after the first set.
Jordan Poole found herself down a set early, but rallied back to force a third set tiebreaker. The tiebreaker proved to be a marathon, as the Buford, Ga., native traded points with her counterpart before falling 16-14 in dramatic fashion.
North Georgia looks to bounce back and return in the win column on Wednesday, March 21, when they travel to in-state rival Young Harris. First serve is set for 2:00 pm.

Burkle Center Director Kal Raustiala Comments on Dispute with Spain over World War II Era Art
Kal Raustiala contributes his expertise on the ambiguity of a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on a Holocaust survivor's six-year legal battle to recover a family painting stolen by the Nazis during World War II.
Published: Monday, June 06, 2011
Excerpt from Daily Journal article by Deidre Crawford:
" 'The courts are partly guessing in these situations - they are making predictions or using assumptions, and if they get that wrong, it could be changed by Congress,' said Kal Raustiala, a professor at UCLA School of Law and director of the Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations. 'It's an issue of statutory interpretation - Congress could come back and say, 'No, that's not what we meant.' ' "

Fantastic toy, even better now at version 2
This helicopter is extremely easy to fly, huge fun and the onboard video cameras (two) and telemetry are a nice touch. To fly pro This helicopter is extremely easy to fly, huge fun and the onboard video cameras (two) and telemetry are a nice touch. To fly properly you may benefit from buying a 3rd party app (there are plenty available with reviews) and there are other hardware upgrades for longer flight times and better performance if you so wish. A great product only slightly let down by the inherent range (think also altitude) limitations of WiFi. …

Anyone who says this isn't a great bit of kit is either too old, too daft or too impatient to fly it, after all, it is a very sophisticated thing, so you have to have some basic knowledge or even just an idea of how to fly or drive something to use it (just get on Tom Clancys HAWX or Forza on your XBOX or PS3 if your having troubles using it, that should help you out).

I have not found range to be a problem, but perhaps I haven't pushed things far enough. Video streaming directly to your iOS device will hog some of the WiFi bandwidth and therefore may impose limitations on range or video quality and smoothness.

Expensive Hobby
This is a clever, intuitive piece of kit and with a bit of practise the controls are easy to learn on iPhone or iPad. It's fun to This is a clever, intuitive piece of kit and with a bit of practise the controls are easy to learn on iPhone or iPad. It's fun to play with and it is a great thrill to capture video footage from your drone as it climbs into the air. However parts of the drone break very easily. Parts are ready to order from Amazon and if you follow the youtube tutorials, remarkably easy to fit. But this is an expensive thing to do and repeat doing. And if you do want to use the thing, fly high, perform stunts, swoop and swing, you will have to spend a lot of money on spare parts and a decent battery. In two months of ownership I have spent nearly £200 on replacement gear for this toy, and sadly tonight when another motor got damaged on a hard landing I have decided to stop throwing good money at it. …

According to all the videos etc once I first launched it, it would rise to 1 metre and hover there.
No such luck. When I launched it with the indoor hull, it rose up and up to the ceiling where bits started to fall off!. Pressing land had no effect. I had to do the emergency stop so it crashed to the floor. I then noticed there was a thin layer of plastic over the bottom covering the sensors. Removed this but it still rose uncontrollably. Finally disconnected battery and then switched off our home wireless router. Started again all worked ok now hovered at 1 metre!! Interested to know if anyone else has had similar problems. Will hopefully give more stars after I have used it. But battery was dead after 5 of these take offs!

I have I have read the payload is approximately 250g (about 8 ounces) and that seems about right.
I have pressed down on the hull of my hovering Drone and the resistance was probably very close that that measurement. However, payloads increase power needs, which increase motor and battery heat and shorten flight-time, and probably shorten the life of motors and battery. They also decrease the stability and flight characteristics.
Examples of payload additions and modifications, including additions of Go-Pro cameras, are abundant on the Internet. …

Witness recounts scene of downtown train-pedestrian accidentFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Amazingly a Fargo man escapes death after walking around a railroad crossing arm, then getting hit by a train. Sixty-one year old Dan Hassel is at Sanford, with injuries to his head and upper body. His condition is not being released at this time.
By: Travis Skonseng, WDAY
Amazingly a Fargo man escapes death after walking around a railroad crossing arm, then getting hit by a train. Sixty-one year old Dan Hassel is at Sanford, with injuries to his head and upper body. His condition is not being released at this time.
Police are still looking into this near fatal crash. We do know that it could have all been avoided had the victim not walked around these cross arms.
Karen Schulz – Eyewitnes: "Never ever, seen anything like that in my life. It was horrifying. Horrifying."
For Karen Schulz, the sheer shock of witnessing a railroad crash is devastating. She saw it happen, just feet from her window.
Karen Schulz: "All of a sudden the train came. I heard the train coming and he walked right out in front of the train and I saw his body fly and he landed in the rocks."
Schulz's antique store is next to the train tracks along Main Avenue. She jumped to the rescue to help the pedestrian.
Karen Schulz: "Called 911 and people were standing out there not doing anything and I put my sweater on him. The conductor comes down and he threw his jacket on him and everybody said stay away from him."
Sgt Kevin Pallas – Fargo Police Department: "He was in and out of consciousness so of course we're going to be hopeful that the injuries are non-life threatening. Right now, we're not 100 percent on that."
Fargo police rushed to the scene within seconds, blocking off Broadway. BNSF crews inspected the scene, tracks, and train.
Amy McBeth - BNSF Spokeswoman: "All of the gates and lights were working properly. The gate arms were in the down position as they should be."
The preliminary investigation shows 61 year-old Dan Hassel went around a crossing arm after a westbound train passed. He was then hit by an eastbound train going 20 miles per hour.
Sgt Kevin Pallas: "It did not run over him. It kind of struck him and he fell to the side of the train."
The ordeal is overwhelming. Schulz still can't understand how this happened, but is thankful she helped possibly save a life.
Karen Schulz: "Thank goodness. Thank goodness because he was breathing when he left in the ambulance."
Police are not sure if alcohol played a role. This is the third train incident in the area within the last 10 days. The others were deadly.
The victim in that train incident has an extensive criminal history with police in the metro. Most are minor or alcohol related offenses.
Fargo police say Dan Hassel was a suspect in a 2006 burglary. He was also a victim in a serious crime in October 2005. In that case, Hassel was stabbed at Memorial Park in Moorhead and taken to then, Meritcare.

Fantastic relay from the US girls.
Amazing from an amazing US team! Go ladies!
I like Lochte's swimming, but this Olympics has been a media train wreck for him.
No more swimming.
And yeah, thank god Lochte is pretty cause damn, that boy don't seem so bright.
^ Very true.
Can someone please explain to me why Speedy had anything to do with the swimming events?
I nominate this for the most ironic and hypocritical post of the day.
BTW, Google is your friend. There are lots of articles out there about a Chinese Olympic doctor expressing his suspicions about Phelps:
From now on, I think I'll take the advice someone gave in another Olympic thread with regard to how pointiless it is to argue with someone so emotional, obsessed, and illogical. I'm done. I genuinely hope you can get past this soon. It can't be healthy or fun.
He's not my type, but as for the rest of it....What on earth possibly gave that away to the rest of the World?And yeah, thank god Lochte is pretty cause damn, that boy don't seem so bright.
During the Beijing Olympics you didn't see any headlines in the Chinese media like "Suspected Dope King goes for another gold" or something like that, which would have been about the equivalent of what the media did here with Ye.

Don't you find it worrying that doctors call treating you their "practice" ?
There are so many events and only so many IOC members. I'm guessing the IOC can't always assign a medal presenter with a connection to the sport just for logistical reasons.
Who wants to watch rich people eat pizza? They must have loved that in Bangladesh. - Randy Newman on the 2014 Oscars broadcast
I think this could have been a really cool moment, for example, but NON! said the IOC: http://www.stltoday.com/sports/olymp...bf6ae8b2e.html
Trolling dates all the way back to 397 B.C. - People began following Plato around and would make fart noises after everything he said.
Hmm so overall thoughts on the swimming anyone?
I'm not surprised about Australia. It has been happening for a while especially on the mens side where they couldn't even win Golds at the Commonwealth games. I'm frankly glad no swimmer went out and simply dominated and won a number of golds. Much much better when things are shared around. Though I do wish countries put more of a challenge to the US.
I enjoyed that some records were broken but not the repetition where it began to get rather silly as in Beijing. I am always amazed that swimmers/athletes are willing to come back and back despite being considerably out of peak. I'm thinking of Pellingrini, Coventry, Jones and Schipper in particular. I am guessing many of the names we're used to seeing won't be seen anymore.
New Zealand were woeful. Outside Lauren Boyle who made the finals in the 400m and 800m freestyle where she placed eighth and fourth. The rest of the team were bad. Personal bests have to be achieved or otherwise don't attend. Considering several did not even make semifinals I question whether they deserved selection at all. Also if you make the semifinal please perform better than you do in the heats. Gareth Kean has the worse starts and turns of any backstroker I have seen.
Best final? Soni's 200m Breastroke win. I disliked her beating Liesel Jones in 2008 but I loved seeing her win here and get the breaststroke record.
While being so well chuffed with yourself, I would also recommend you also check out the meaning of 'sarcasm', 'satire', and the word 'irony' repeatedly. Maybe you can finally stand why I am having so much fun taking apart these double standards and so called expert knowledge that are so hilariously amateur and outright wrong from this one 'highly respected' US official that clearly has ulterior motives.
Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that given you two shares remarkable similar arrogance and pomposity, that you too are unable to grasp on the importance of details and facts before reach a verdict. How you were not able to distinguish my disagreement with 1 sr. US official then decide to try to turn this into
Anti-John Leonard = Anti- American= Anti Western???
Since when does one John Leonard and his supporters represent western opinion? Are you freaking kidding me?! Are you saying anti-doping is exclusively to the west, and none from the east are against anti-doping?
And please don't drag UK and the rest of the world into this ugly mess. If you bother to read international press, you'd find there are plenty around the world reacted to this like I did, that deemed Meister Leonard's baseless accusations as 'unprofessional' and 'sour grapes'. What about the Australian Swimmer Ian Thorpe, Brit Swimmers/commentators Adrian Moorhouse, Sharon Davies, BOA Chairman, IOC, US press and even Michael Phelp's coach to name a few. Are they anti western too?
Actually I am trying to be kind and was hoping you'd able to take note of the date yourself. Does the fact this article appeared 4 years later AFTER Meister Leonard's public assertion means anything to you instead of the night of Phelps big race in Beijing?I notice you are ignoring my point that it's not just westerners that express suspicion about steroids and cheating.
Here's a clue: the term 'counter-attack'
And by the way - who exactly are the westerners? Am I not a westerner? Or is it just when I disagree with ONE westerner, I am suddenly an easterner/northerner/southerner or an anti-westerner? Is it my skin colour that gives it away?
Wow imagine the audacity and the ingenuity to able to lump together a patronising personal insult with a general sweeping generalisation and finish it off with a pun. Really you are trying much too hard to be like your hero. Read this articleI seriously suggest you take a deep breath, take a look back at your posts, and ask yourself why you are so obsessed with your anti-Western sentiment and your anger about this issue. You've gone off the deep end. (pun intended).
Now imagine this is written in Chinese about someone like Missy Franklin at Beijing Olympics the night of her big race; AFTER China failed to beat her repeatedly. The real irony is this 'leader' of the sport that represent the free world is the only guilty party that uses propaganda based on science fiction to further his cold war.

BASKETBALL: F Erik Murphy could be back from injury next weekby Jason Lieser
Florida starting F Erik Murphy will miss his third straight game tomorrow with a knee injury, but the damage was not as bad as the Gators thought. Murphy could play Wednesday against Arizona.
Murphy has minor tears in his meniscus, though they are not severe and it appears as though his most significant injury is a bone bruise in his knee. Coach Billy Donovan ruled Murphy out for Friday's game at No. 4 Syracuse (7 p.m., ESPN), but is optimistic about him returning next week.
"We felt like the swelling that he was dealing with was really from the bone bruise on his knee, and that's usually 10-14 day recovery," Donovan said. "He's at seven days now, so we'll at least try to get him back to try to start doing some things.
"I think when you see torn cartilage or a torn meniscus on the MRI, your initial reaction is that he is going to need surgery."
Fortunately for Murphy, surgery will not be necessary.
He sustained the injury during practice last week and missed games against Jacksonville and Wright State.
Murphy, a junior, averaged 10 points and four rebounds in the Gators' first four games. He made 8 of 14 three-pointers.

I´m not an Apple coder, so I would like to suggest an application that will help people to recover stolen iPhones:
The App should, a couple of minutes after every power-up, send an e-mail to it´s owner reporting it´s location (triangulation or GPS, if it is an iPhone 3G) and the telephone number of the currently inserted SIM card.
Obviously, the app will have to be distribuited over Cydia, since Apple´s sandbox does not allow applications to load after a power-up. The application should try to resend the e-mail up until an Internet connection is avaliable (every hour or so if it fails).
If someone codes this, I´ll surely install it on my phone...

"I think that you want to experience winning. It's in our nature — it's in my nature — and that's going to be definitely a big factor in it".- David Wright
Yesterday I was talking to Tom and the subject of our sick little baseball team came up. During our conversation I mentioned the fact that David Wright seems to be positioning himself for a potential departure.
Can you blame him?
My analogy is that he is the faithful wife that has been treated like shit by a douche bag of a husband. I can literally picture him sobbing while saying, "I gave you the best years of my life and this is the thanks I get!".
Too melodramatic? I have eyewitnesses that can place me at work all day and NOT watching daytime television. I swear.
The bottom line is that it is too early to worry about this issue. If the off-season passes and the Mets do not extend him then you can worry if you want to see #5 past 2013.

More About Horror Films
Horror films are designed to unsettle our nerves and prey upon our hidden fears. In addition, they are meant to cause frighten, panic, dread and alarm. Most horror films include a terrifying, shocking finale, while simultaneously are both captivating and entertaining. Revolving around the darker side of life, including the strange, the forbidden and the disturbing, horror films depict a snapshot of life none of us wish to experience firsthand. They deal with our most basic nature and fears, such as our terror of the unknown, our helplessness, our nightmares, our alienation, our revulsions, our fear of death, our loss of self and our fear of sexuality. Horror films are also commonly called scary movies, macabre, spookfests and chillers.
Best Horror Films
- The Exorcist- Released in 1973, this movie involves the possession of a little girl. A young and old priest are charged to investigate, where they first come to believe, then spend the rest of the movie fighting back the devil for control of the young girl's soul. This is one of the best horror films to depict the consequences of true faith.
- Psycho- Released in 1960. Brought to life by Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho is the true epitome of suspense and tension. Revolving around a crazy Norman Bates and his even crazier mother, this movie tells the story of a killer who is brought to justice after many victims are claimed. Do you know the true secret of the Bates family?
- Alien- Released in 1979, this science fiction horror movie is set several centuries in the future when humanity has ventured into outer space. The crew of a mining vessel becomes unwitting hosts to a bloodthirsty alien life form. This is the best horror film to depict sheer claustrophobic terror.
- Jaws- Released in 1975. The first blockbuster and best horror film from director Steven Spielberg, Jaws is both a monster movie and character study. A killer shark wreaks havoc on a small town, claiming many victims, while local sheriff works to take down the menace.
- Silence of the Lambs: Released in 1991. According to the Academy, this was the best (horror) film released that year. The film's premise revolves around using an imprisoned serial killer to help catch another serial killer. This is one of the scariest, psychological thrillers ever made.

Vine Grove residents plan to gather this week to support children in need and promote a sense of community.
The annual auction for the Christmas for the Children program is Thursday, and Dickens of a Christmas is planned for Friday and Saturday.
The auction supports the purchase of gifts for children in the community identified by school resource centers as needing help for getting gifts for Christmas. The money raised is used during a shopping trip with the children to buy clothes and toys.

"Learning to fly can be one of life's most rewarding adventures. The freedom of moving in three dimensions is not only fun but can lead to interesting career and travel opportunities."
(AOPA How to choose a flight school)
N12110 has been sold. We will update the website when we have a rental available.
Flight Instructor - $50.00/HR
Obtaining your private pilot's license should be enjoyable.
We want to help you achieve your dream of becoming a pilot.
Stop by and pick up a free informational booklet from Gleim about becoming a pilot!
The first step in becoming a pilot is taking your first flight lesson. Call and schedule your flight today. Your instructor will answer any additional questions you may have. You have nothing to lose. The worst that can happen is that you had an awesome Scenic Flight!
FAA Private Pilot License Requirements (FAR 61.109)
The FAA requires every person to have a medical certificate issued by the FAA before a pilot's license can be obtained. This medical certificate must be in your possession before taking you Private Pilot Checkride. We strongly recommend that you pass your medical examination before beginning flight training.
Ground school is designed to prepare you for taking a national standardized written test which you are required to pass before your private pilot's license can be issued. Ground instruction is taught in conjunction with flight training. Your first flight and your first logbook entry can take place before you ever open a book. Books and materials needed for flight training cost $222.00 plus tax. You will also need to purchase a headset. Headset range dramatically in price depending on your needs. We carry a basic headset with a lifetime warranty for $150.00.
The FAA requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight time to receive a private pilot's license. The national average, however, is over 70 hours. Your actual flight time required, and the resulting costs, are dependent on your abilities and the frequency of flight lessons. The FAA breaks down the required hours as 20 hours of dual instruction, 10 hours of solo flight, and 10 hours of either solo or dual instruction.
After you have completed the required skills that allow you to operate an aircraft safely as a private pilot, you will take a practical flight test (Checkride) that includes an oral exam with an FAA Examiner. The examiner cost is between $300.00-$400.00.

Line One: Ryan Smyth (Kings) 83 - Jarret Stoll 86 (Kings) - Justin Williams 81 (Kings)
I got Stoll with my starter pack (was very stoked), and I just picked up Smyth and Williams on the auction block last night. Got them for a total of about 1800 pucks. They both have a handful of games played already, which kinda sucks, but I figured I'd take it for the chemistry. Chemistry is somewhere around 96 (I haven't played much with this line, so I can't say how much this matters)
Line Two: Begin (Bruins, NHL) 81 - Fiddler (Coyotes, NHL) 79 - Recchi (Bruins, NHL) 81
Pretty good second line, Fiddler is better than I thought we would be, with a good shooter on his right and a hitter on his left. Chemistry is around 80 with the two teammates.
Line Three: Setzinger (Davos, National) 73 - Nichol (San Jose, NHL) 77 - Stortini (Oilers, NHL) 83
The highlight of this line is Stortini, who has a 97 or so in checking after a few training cards. He is a beast. Setzinger has a good shot, so he's the scorer of the line. Mostly they like to hit people though.
Line Four: Langhammer (Sparta, O2) 69 - Taylor (Rochester, AHL) 73 - Walker (Berlin, DEL) 75
Fourth line is fairly worthless, but Chris Taylor has made a few sweet goals so far. I try to have these guys on the ice as little as possible, although Taylor is also a good PKer.
Other Forwards of Note:
C Kennedy (Penguins, NHL) - 79 overall, 87 potential. When I get some good training cards, he'll be my second line center in no time.
LW Gogol (Saskatoon, WHL) 67 overall, 82 potential. I'm pretty weak on the wings, he's my best prospect up front.
RW Heino (Pelicans, SM-Liga) 69 overall, 80 potential. Only decent RW prospect.
Defense Pairing 1: Davidson (New Jersey, NHL) 82 - Salvador (New Jersey, NHL) 82
Lucked out on getting two Devils Dmen, one in my starter pack and one in a jumbo pack i got with leftover MS points. They're solid, with great chemistry
Defense Pairing 2: Sutton (Senators, NHL) 80 - Havelid (Linkopings, SEL) 72
Just picked up Sutton last night as well, haven't played with him too much, but Havelid is good at handling the puck and getting it to the forwards.
Defense Pairing 3: Penner (Providence, AHL) 74 - Cole (Abbotsford, AHL) 72
Two AHL guys, decent, nothing special.
Goalies: Budaj (Colorado, NHL) 80ish - Aus Den Birken (Iserlon, DEL) 71
I picked up Budaj on an auction when I couldn't take my 71-rated goalie anymore. I have Michael Neuvirth in the wings, a 76 overall with 87 potential. As soon as I get a few good goalie training cards, he'll be my starter.
I freaking love this game mode. I just wish there was an easy way to set up HUT team games with your friends. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

One of the most popular men in the peloton, Eisel brings his know-how to the team after 11 seasons as a professional with 12 Grand Tour appearances and an impressive collection of victories.
When unleashed on the Classics Eisel has proven to be a highly consistent campaigner, claiming top-10 finishes at Gent-Wevelgem and Paris-Roubaix in 2011. Gent-Wevelgem in particular is a race that holds special memories for the Austrian after a superb triumph in 2010 when he was part of a late breakaway and then fended off Philippe Gilbert and co to take victory in HTC-Columbia colours. Eisel also bagged a win at Paris-Bourges in 2008.
The wingman of Mark Cavendish, Eisel is often found sacrificing himself to help to shepherd the sprinter through the mountains during the Grand Tours, using his experience to drive along the gruppetto to the stage finish.

Cardassian Lock Box
Starting after the maintenance this Thursday (February 9, 2012), a new item will begin dropping as loot in the game. This item is called a Cardassian Lock Box.
When a Cardassian Lock Box is opened, it will grant the character that opens it a random reward. These rewards range from a rare starship, to some great new items. The possible rewards are:
- A box with a Cardassian Galor class cruiser starship.
- A box with a powerful cross-faction starship console. When opened by a Federation character, it contains the Graviton Pulse Generator console (which is normally only available to Klingon players who purchase the Puyjaq Raptor), and when opened by a Klingon character, it contains an Impulse Burst console (which is normally only available to Federation players that purchase the Gladius Escort). This is the only way to get a console that is normally restricted to the other faction, making these consoles especially valuable.
- A box with a Crossfire Tribble. This ground combat themed Tribble provides a small damage boost in shooter mode and a small damage resistance in RPG mode.
- A Duty Officer Pack just like the ones sold in the C-Store.
- A Large Commendation Boost, which grants a 20% bonus to Commendation XP for up to 10,000 CXP before it is fully consumed.
- A smaller Commendation Boost, which grants a 20% bonus to Commendation XP for up to 2,000 CXP before it is fully consumed.
- A Skill Point Boost, which grants a 20% bonus to Skill Points for up to 1,000 SP before it is fully consumed.
- A box with a shuttle pet. When opened by a Federation character, it contains a Runabout companion pet. When opened by a Klingon character, it contains a Toron shuttle companion pet.
- A box with a Dilithium Horta companion pet that can be used by both Federation and Klingon characters.
- A box with a Sehlat Cub companion pet that can be used by both Federation and Klingon characters.
- A box that when opened unlocks the Deep Space Nine Federation Costume Pack for the account. It can be opened by either Federation or Klingon, but the resulting costume parts are only usable by Federation characters on the account.
- A Shield Pack box. This box contains a random blue or purple quality shield for a starship or personal shield for ground use. The item awarded is at the appropriate level for the character that opens the box.
- A box with a stack of Gamma Quadrant commodity items for use in Duty Officer missions. There are 6 different commodity types available, and you'll get a 5 item stack of one of the types. These are used for some new DS9 themed Duty Officer missions that are being introduced at the same time as the Cardassian Lock Box.
- A box with a stack of double bonus consumables that improve two stats in combat, instead of just one. For example, a Shield and Auxiliary Battery. There are 8 different consumables (4 for space and 4 for ground) available, and you'll get a 5 item stack of one of the consumable types.
All items that can be awarded by the Cardassian Lock Box can be traded or sold on the auction house to other players. So if you get something you don't want or need, you can trade them away. The Lock Boxes themselves can also be traded or auctioned if you don't want to open them.
To open one of the Lock Boxes, a character will also need an item called a Master Key. Master Keys can be purchased in the C-Store for 100 CP, or in a 10-pack for 900 CP. If you attempt to open a Lock Box without a Master Key, you will get a message explaining that you need one. If you have more than one Master Key, then only one key will be consumed each time you open a Lock Box.
While playing, be on the lookout for special Gold Lock Boxes! These boxes have significantly higher odds of rewarding the more desirable items.
Complete details on the Cardassian Lock Box will be available in an FAQ that will be released on Thursday. Details on the Galor class starship will be the subject of tomorrow's blog.
Make sure to take a look at our Cardassian Lock Box FAQ here.

BARRIE - At the half-way mark in his four-year term, Mayor Jeff Lehman has largely pulled together council as a team and harnessed the energies of most of his councillors. This is a key ingredient in leadership. We will see what he is made of over the next two years, as councillors become more political and begin to differentiate themselves as they prepare to run again for council or run for other political offices.
Lehman has also demonstrated he is willing to take risks and accept criticism for spending on initiatives he believes are best for Barrie: a trip to Calgary and a trip to China at a cost of about $7,000 per person. Lehman went to China, along with two other city officials, as well as several business community leaders. He returned with some promising prospects, such as a company wanting to set up an entrepreneurial launching pad in Ontario.
Lehman manages to keep up with his emails, despite his heavy public-appearance and meeting schedules. At the halfway mark, his energy level doesn't seem to be waning.
Lehman could benefit by not keeping his cards so close to his chest and being a more courageous leader. For example, he could have helped solve an ongoing difficult issue: selling an erroneously zoned strip of Bayview Park (which is coming up again Feb. 4). He declared a conflict of interest as his father owns land on Collier Street. He says the lands overlook the park, though they did before condominiums were built on Dunlop Street.

Now that Dish Network is out of the picture, Clearwire shareholders have officially accepted Sprint's $5 a share offer to buy its remaining shares.
Sprint officially acquires the remaining 50 percent of Clearwire a day after shareholders overwhelmingly vote to approve the deal.
Dish says it's standing down, clearing a path for Sprint to acquire the small wireless company.
Satellite TV provider offers $1 a share more than Sprint for the wireless broadband provider, a 29 percent premium over the carrier's offer.
After proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis reiterates that shareholders should vote "no" to an acquisition by Sprint, Clearwire pipes up.
Board says the deal is the best offer for Clearwire, despite other companies showing interest.
A letter to shareholders from the wireless broadband company ignores Dish and says the proposed takeover offer by Sprint provides the best possible value.
Hot on the heels of Dish's bid for Sprint, Verizon Wireless is reportedly trying to muscle in on the Clearwire assets that Sprint covets.
It accepts Sprint's offer of financing in a move that may end Dish Network's bid to buy the wireless broadband provider.
Sprint has increased its bid for Clearwire to $5 a share in the hopes of forcing satellite TV provider Dish Network to drop out of the race.

CANANDAIGUA — Ontario County Industrial Development Agency members decided Monday to take a closer look at plans to build Fishers Ridge, a 96-acre, mixed-use "super regional center" on Route 96 in Victor. At their Sept. 23 meeting, members voted to spend no more than $30,000 to have an six- to eight-week independent study prepared by consultant Peter Fairweather, to help them determine whether the project should receive financial incentives.
Representatives of The DiMarco Group — President John DiMarco II, Vice President Paul Colucci, and Baldwin Real Estate President Bill Durdel — appeared before the county IDA at its meeting in Canandaigua to give an update on the project and make an informal application for a sale/leaseback program and a tax-exempt bond financing program.
"Mostly we're seeking conceptual buy-in for Fishers Ridge, that it is truly a transformative project for this town," Durdel said in an introduction.
Fishers Ridge, Durdel said, would include retail, restaurants, entertainment, residences, hotels and office space, as well as 3,200 feet of road frontage on Route 96. It would be accessible to the public and have outdoor features such as parks, trail systems, ponds and waterfalls. The residential component — all rental — would be "work force housing" in the moderate to high price range.
DiMarco said the village environment would include second-floor high-tech office space, which would access Ontario County's high-speed fiber optic ring. "Class A space," he said, "is determined by infrastructure, not décor."
The project, Durdel told IDA members, would generate about 1,703 permanent full-time jobs, as well as an estimated 1,785 full-time construction jobs.
"Current town, county and school taxes on the undeveloped property are $46,000," Durdel said. "On completion of the project they are projected to be $232,000,000, with annual sales tax revenue to Ontario County expected to be $4,500,000."
Durdel outlined several contributions the new development could bring to not only Ontario County, but Victor, including strategic road connections that address existing Route 96 corridor traffic issues, and new public roadways to support local traffic.
Of special interest to Victor Supervisor Jack Marren and IDA members was the potential for real-time messaging for motorists traveling Route 96 that would warn them when traffic was congested; and traffic monitoring to control signal lights remotely during peak hours and when needed. Both were among benefits Colucci suggested Fishers Ridge could bring.
Colucci also told IDA members about an alternative traffic pattern that could ease the strain and congestion on Victor's residential Lane Road, which connects Route 96 with High Street. A proposed public roadway in Fishers Ridge would connect Route 96 to High Street, funneling traffic away from Lane.
Obstacles to overcome
Victor Planning Board Chair Joe Logan said in a recent interview that the project has been before his group in several forms since its conception. The main obstacles to date, he said, are the size of the development and impacts to the natural resources on the site, as well as impacts to traffic on the Route 96 corridor, High Street and other intersections in the area. The impact Fishers Ridge boutiques might have on businesses in the village of Victor should also be a consideration, he said.
Page 2 of 2 - Logan pointed to the need for connectivity with, and realignment of, Lane Road to the intersection of Route 251, along with limitations of the capacity of the sewer system and needed upgrades.
"The cost of infrastructure improvements needed for the growth in the corridor — and how they will be paid for — should be considered by all parties when reviewing all aspects of this project," Logan said. "The ball is in their court — both financially and to conform to our comprehensive plan requirements."
Marren told IDA members he did not see these improvements as the sole responsibility of either the developer or the town.
"A partnership needs to be established and changes to both roadways and sewer need to take place for all of us to realize a full potential build-out," said Marren. "I think there's an advantage for us as well — it's a give-and-take relationship that I envision."
Durdel believes when Fairweather sees all the research that The DiMarco Group has already gathered, his evaluation will be simplified. "It's ripe and we're ready," he said.
"Between now and the end of the year, this is coming and will continue through," said DiMarco. "We do have multiple interested parties, and the question for them is 'when can you deliver?' Whether it's one or two years, we need to begin to put a date out there."


text: Monsanto, BASF Scientists Disclose Discovery of Gene Conferring Drought Tolerance In Corn Plants Gene provides yield stability during periods of inadequate water supply. Published on: Jun 9, 2009 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print A naturally-occurring gene can help corn plants combat drought conditions and confer yield stability during periods of inadequate water supplies. The discovery was announced Tuesday by Monsanto and BASF scientists. The companies plan to use this gene in their first-generation drought-tolerant corn product, making it the first biotechnology-derived drought-tolerant crop in the world. The announcement comes at a time when recent studies, including one by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, are warning of declining crop yields and global food shortages as a result of climate change. According to a United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization report prepared for ministers of the G-8, the number and duration of dry spells, especially in already drought-prone areas, is expected to increase. "The development of this trait demonstrates the strength of our robust discovery engine which is fueled by our ongoing investment in R&D," said Robert Fraley, Chief Technology Officer for Monsanto. "It also reflects our commitment to our farmer customers and a recognition of the investment they make in our products. Drought-tolerant corn will be another tool with which we can help them meet the challenges facing agriculture today." In corn, the gene works by helping the plant maintain growth and development during times of inadequate water supply. A corn plant is particularly vulnerable to drought during reproductive growth stages. By mitigating the impact of drought on the plant, it helps provide yield stability. Improved yield stability is of significant value to farmers faced with unpredictable rainfall. "BASF and Monsanto's drought-tolerant corn is the first result of our plant biotechnology collaboration of which I am very proud," said Jürgen Schweden, Senior Vice President R&D, BASF Plant Science. "With our complementing technologies, we are able to bring more and better products to farmers faster.". The drought-tolerant corn product is targeted for as early as 2012 pending appropriate regulatory approvals. Both companies also recently announced that they have completed regulatory submissions for cultivation in the United States and Canada, and for import to Mexico, the European Union and Colombia. Submissions in other import markets will follow in the months to come.

Dedicated Server Hosting
All serious internet business owners realize time is money, and two of the most important decisions they will have to consider regarding their online presence is who to host with and the type of hosting package to choose.
Security and Reliability are major issues and the primary reasons many businesses opt to have their own dedicated servers.
When they first get online, it is customary for the majority of people to use a standard shared hosting package. This can be cheaper than dedicated server hosting, but there are certain drawbacks to this option when you are ready to take your business to the next level.
If your site is currently experiencing pages loading slowly, or not at all, it is time for dedicated server hosting. Many owners of large websites have had their sites "crash" when experiencing a high amount of traffic, particularly during new product launches.
One way to prevent this ever happening is to have a dedicated server. This is something serious business owners use because it means only their websites are hosted on a particular I.P. address, so they have no concerns over security, RAM, bandwidth or email deliverability.
All serious internet business owners realize time is money and the longer a site is offline, the more the website owner suffers both financially and in reputation.
Understandably, having a dedicated server is a more expensive hosting option, but one on which GVO have a unique competitive advantage over their competitors, the price!
We own our hosting data center, own the land on which it sits, all the fiber optics, software, code and programs, and have no shareholders to answer to. This gives us the ability to offer you the absolute best service and pricing when it comes to dedicated server hosting.
With a long background in successful internet marketing, we know exactly what web business owners want and need, and our services are used by many of the top internet and network marketers.
